Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Chicken Stock Base scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5 Lake): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate, Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate And Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
- Industrial Enzymes (Papain): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
Within Soup & Chili, this product is more processed than about 24% of the 7,596 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
